Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy male and female subjects, who have no deviation from normal in medical history, physical examination, ECGs and clinical laboratory determinations.
  • (BMI) of 18.5-30 kg/m\^2, inclusive. BMI=weight (kg)/[height(m)]\^2.
  • Males and Females, not of , ages 21 to 65 years, inclusive. Female subjects must have documented proof that they are not of childbearing potential.
  • Male subjects must be willing to use effective and refrain from sperm donation during the entire study and for 200 days after dosing has been completed.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are of or breastfeeding.
  • Any significant acute or chronic medical illness.
  • Any history of cancer within 5 years of enrollment.
  • Any major surgery within 4 weeks of study drug administration.
  • Donation of blood or serum > 500 mL to a blood bank or in a clinical study (except screening visit) within 3 months of study drug administration.
  • Participation in a clinical study (except a screening visit) within 4 weeks (or 5 half lives, whichever is longer), of study drug administration.
  • Inability to be venipunctured and/or tolerate venous access.
  • Has smoked or used tobacco products within 6 months prior to study drug administration.
  • Recent (within 6 months of study drug administration) drug or alcohol abuse as defined in DSM IV, Diagnostic Criteria for Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
